A recipe is a set of instructions that describes how to prepare or make something, especially a culinary dish. Below is a list of recipes featured in our holiday articles to help you make your get-together's special. Food is a major part of monthly celebrations wheather it's a birthday, a weird theme party or a traditional holiday like Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving or Halloween.

Some recipes will note how long the dish will keep and its suitability for freezing. Nutritional information, such as calories per serving and grams of protein, fat, and carbohydrates per serving, may also be given.

Earlier recipes often included much less information, serving more as a reminder of ingredients and proportions for someone who already knew how to prepare the dish.

Recipe writers sometimes also list variations of a traditional dish, to give different tastes of the same recipes
